Wow...this is amazing!!! This is exactly what i needed. Just got awarded my Cage code. Ive been searching for 12 hours. Just a bunch of people rambling, on live filled with "umms.." and "uhhs" and ultimately, nothing but hot air.
Thanks! I'm glad you found me!
What is a cage code
@@jrr7031 alright yea I was wondering how that works. Like if anyone can bid and do you need to go through something before bidding. I’m 17 tho you probably have to be 18 right?
@@matthewharwell2408 need a business registered in your states and with the small business administration and SAM.gov

Glad it was helpful! I have lots of other videos that will help you on your journey. Keep learning!
Useful information, would like to know how to best search for opportunities specific to my services and having some difficulty. Using the less is more objective
Have you tried narrowing it down by your target agency and your geographic location? What NAICS code are you using for your search?
Hi, this is amazing and very useful information. I am new at this and would love more information on how to pursue the contracts available. I am an Event Planner and I also do Administrative work, but I am not too familiar with the wording of the Contracts.
The wording of the contracts is in the solicitation, so you can download a solicitation and read it to start familiarizing yourself with the contract language. Let me know if you have more questions
Thank you so much since no one helping out there this is amazing for me I’m new trying to get my foot in the door my guestion is do you have a new vedeo ?
Can you show us a step by step process on search and actually bidding a contract

Hi! I’m a former gym owner/ US Vet. I’m looking to get started in government contracting but not sure what way to establish my new business. I’m thinking of being a middle man for other business using their balance sheet because I have contacts. Any suggestions or thoughts would be helpful🙏🏽
I think partnering with an existing business makes a lot of sense. It gets you over a lot of hurdles. You can use their past performance experience, and their know-how of how to price a job.
So will I be the middle man in this type of deal if so will you make a video about it
I think the video was informative. I am looking for a TV installation contract, do you think you can help with that?
Hey thank you very much for informative content. My company is registered with SAM and have got activated, can I get Federal contract from outside of the USA, if yes what is The procedure.
Thanks for the information, I will be watching more of your videos. Do you do consulting?
I provide free help here, not consulting
I use to work for a small security guard company. The owner is new and has not figured out how to run his business for growth. I want to show him I can be useful by getting contracts for him. Is it possible to get a for sure contract so I can present it to him?
I don't know of any "for sure" contracts. But, there certainly are government contracts for security guard businesses. I would start by researching security guard contracts in my geographic area. For more tips, check out my full course posted on my TH-cam page.
When biding we do not charge for sales tax correct? The US government is tax exempt, right?
I have wanted to get a mail contract out of Columbus, OH for years! I have never been able to get one or figure out how to do it.
thanks
very helpful!!!!
Thank you for this video very formative. Is there anyway to pull up public or listed company that have been awarded contracts?

Great Video, thank you! I need to renew my SAM's registration BUT I do not want to pay the annual $599 fee. Since I'm already in the system, how can I do this without having to pay? I know folks who got their new registration without paying the fee. I think it's tricky because I'm already in the system. How can I navigate this to renew and not have to pay the fee?
There is no fee to register in SAM. Registration is free. To do your annual update, go to the SAM.gov website and click on renew entity. This is completely free, and there is free help available if you need it.
Hello I knew to this whole industry. i recently started my business now what is the process. From start to finish?
Since you're a new business, let me point out that most people start out by working as a Subcontractor. I have several videos on Subcontracting, so check those out. If you're looking to understand the entire process, check out my course: www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-government-contracting-bootcamp/?couponCode=FEDACCESS0224
Why doesn't my screen look like that?
Thanks I'm looking for work at the Philadelphia port
That's great that you have your target! Now you can start meeting people there.
Hi there. I'm a loan signing agent with a mobile notary business...do you ever see contract opportunities for notaries? Thanks for providing such valuable content!
I have never looked for notary opportunities. Watch my new video and go to a networking event and ask them!: th-cam.com/video/fKoVaeJM_sk/w-d-xo.html
How can I find contracts for overseas. SAM filter shows United stats
Amazing video! I just started my consulting business and I am looking for a contract with the government or a subcontract.
Great! Have you seen my video on What to Do First?
Would you be willing to do a one-on-one training of how to use this site? How much for a 30 minute zoom session? I have a few specific things I want to learn and don't want to browse TH-cam all day trying to figure it out lol
There's no reason to pay for help like this ! Your local PTAC will help you with this for free. I suggest you reach out to them. If you have specific questions that would be a good topic for a video, please let me know! Most of my video ideas come from viewer questions
Hello. Do you offer consulting of any kind? I recently started a small business in construction and landscaping. I have many questions about the navigation of government contracts.
Watch my videos and post your questions here! I am more than happy to answer questions. If your question is of general interest, i may even make a video on the subject. Thanks for watching!
Hey thanks for the video. I just wanted to ask if we are completely new and want to propose ideas and things like that what do we press and how do we do it, on my account I noticed there is no option to propose things like the Nspires account of NASA has it. I am looking to propose things to agencies like NASA or DARPA
What kind of things do you want to propose? If it's new technology, then take a look at the SBIR program. That's where you can propose new technology ideas.
@@FedAccess hi yeah I’ll take a look at that. The thing is the places land websites like DARPA or other defense and aerospace agencies mention SAM which is why I was wondering. Also the thing is I am currently a high school student so it’s mainly proposals of technology ideas
Where do you even get those codes to do a search? Makes no sense that you need to know a code to search. Where do you find and access those codes?
You can look up your NAICS codes at this website: www.census.gov/naics/
Ready Set Go
Thanks!
Thanks ❤
I have five trucks semi trucks and I’m trying to get a local route for you mail delivery. I just don’t know how to find it.
Watch the first two videos in my course, and then reach out directly to your target customer. That is the best way to find contracts: th-cam.com/play/PLsPU_DAGB86_va5G7RmM6r1ZyuhxpYaGN.html
Im trying to find contracts for construction to be more specific for drywall and painting, but I can't find anything here. Can you help me?
do you have a video for service-connected veterans searching for service contracts? Any advice would be appreciated.
SAM.gov allows you to search for contract opportunities for SDVOSB. In the list of filters, you can click Set Aside and then select SDVOSB set-aside. that will show you all SDVOSB set-asides. Then you can narrow it down to the service you provide by filtering by your NAICS code.
i would like to provide audio recordings and voice over for instructional or promotional items for training videos and the like. Would you know what type of contract listing this may be under?. Thanks
Hi, I am a solopreneur interested in finding micropurchase or SAP opportunities. There is limited information on YT (or pretty much anywhere for that matter) about these types of opportunities. From what I have gathered, it boils down to finding the buyers through the OSDBUs and/or Small Business Specialiat and asking to be placed on the approved vendors list. Do you have any other insight? Will you please make a video on this topic?
it does boil down to finding the buyers and building relationships with them. I have a video on how to search FPDS.gov to find who buys what you sell. I also have a video on how to find events in your area where you can meet buyers. I'm happy to do more videos on this topic... Please tell me more about the problems you are facing...
@@FedAccess I am familiar with FPDS and have watched several videos on how to data mine and export to Excel. I have not watched your video on how to meet buyers, but have attended events in the past. I have an environmental engineering consulting firm. When I contact the OSDBU or Small Biz Specialist, they do not seem to want to talk to me. I have watched several marketing videos that advise not to send out cap statements without referring to a solicitation, but if I am trying to be considered for non-advertised opportunities, then how does that work? How do I get on these preferred vendor lists? I went to one if the matchmaking sessions at one of those events and it was a joke, the Dept rep said "oh you haven't done any governnent work before" and basically laughed and scoffed at me. I said "I thought that's what this was for, to meet the government" 😳 smh I just dont understand how to get these people to talk to me. I am working w/my PTAC and they told me to say I wanted to set up a capability review. I called another SBO in another government entity, and they told me they dont even set those up unless a buyer asks for you specifically. 😒 I mean, this is silly at this point. Everybodybusbsaying to contact these people, but these people dont want to talk 🙄
I feel your pain. I have two thoughts. The first, is to go in as a subcontractor to a government prime contractor. As a subcontractor, you may get a chance to meet the fed customers and build relationships with them that way. You might also decide you like working as a subcontractor and just keep doing that. My second thought: why not submit a bid for a competitive solicitation. You can search sam.gov to find solicitations for bid. When the selected bidder is announced (almost no one wins a bid on their first attempt) you should request a debrief. This will get you and your company in front of the contracting officer. I have a video on your first bid, that explains the debrief process.
i am a veteran woman owned company is there a video specifically for finding contracts for this?
I suggest you search for contracts from the VA. This video shows how you would do that: th-cam.com/video/XaUuS3Fm4aw/w-d-xo.html
This might be a dumb question, but you need an EIN to submit bids on contracts, right?
You'll need to provide a tax ID number when you register in SAM. That can be your SSN, but it's pretty easy to get an EIN from the IRS, so why not do it?
I’m a disabled veteran and I’m interested in starting a business. Where do I start do you mentor?
Hi question to bid contract is by contact the person whatever they list their info? Even trying to bid the contract I have been looking all over place welps thanks
The solicitation will tell you how to submit your bid. Check out my video on how to submit a proposal. It walks you through all the steps.

I’m trying to search for contracts in Iraq because I have a lot of contacts there. Any help?
Thanks for the great video. I have a box truck business in Ga and I'm trying to find my WOSB business a government or state contract local here. I have all my certifications and trying to do it my self instead of paying someone 10k to walk me through the steps. Can you help me at all? Thank you 😇
Have you contacted your local PTAC? They will provide one on one help to you, and their help is free. Also, if you have specific questions, let me know. I make many of my videos as a result of viewer questions.
Can i know where to find the pricing of the contracts?
This video shows how to search for the contract value of awarded contracts: th-cam.com/video/_tbgSFpIzas/w-d-xo.html

I really appreciate all the information how can I get in contact with you
If you have questions, best way to reach me is to post them here. Most of my videos result from viewer questions, so if you post a question i may make a video on that topic.

Question: I know not every contract opportunity are on SAM. Is there any website where fed gov puts every single awarded contract? I wonder if usaspending has them all.
FPDS.gov is the database of awarded federal contracts. USASpending.gov pulls its data from the FPDS database. Many people prefer USASpending because its easier to use, but i always go to FPDS because it is the actual data
If I have a trucking LLC am I able to bid on painting, construction, catering contracts etc…. also? Or am I only stuck bidding on transportation??
You can submit a bid on anything
What is meant by the term Middleman?
That is not a government contracting term. in other words, there is no specific definition in government contracting. Different people seem to use the word to mean different things.
this video was very helpful, it is my first time researching here but I didnt find any bidding contract they all say AWARD WINNING NOTICE ? Am I looking in the wrong place? please help
SAM lists both Solicitations and Award Notices. You can filter by this in the Notice Type dropdown menu in SAM.
@@FedAccess thank you 🙏🏻 so just to clarify I can still reach out to to get the contract when it says award winning notice right ? And there is also bidding contracts ? Am sorry if it’s a dumb question.
If you watch my complete course, it will be clearer. In a nutshell, the government posts solicitations on SAM. Each solicitation has a due date. You must submit your bid before the due date. An Award Notice means the proposals have been submitted, they've reviewed the proposals, and they've selected the successful offeror. The Award Notice probably tells you the name of the successful offeror.
I am a distributor for promotional products. How can I find my NCAIS codes that apply to my business?
You can look up your NAICS codes here: www.census.gov/naics/ Search for the codes for the products or services you want to sell to the government
What are the least competitive products or services where government is having hard time finding ?I want to start government contract but not with very common product or services which are highly competitive
I think you're on the right track. Stay away from commodities and focus on niche products or specialized services.
@@FedAccess any suggestions on product or services ?
How do you find the NACS code
This video explains NAICS Codes: th-cam.com/video/VdhX9Lte2lk/w-d-xo.html
How do a small company with certifications contact or search a prime company or large company to partner up with them to utilize your certification to get a contract?
I would start attending networking events. These go by different names, such as Meet the Buyer events and Industry Days. They are a great way to meet government buyers and also meet Prime Contractors and other small businesses. I have a video on how to find these events.
Can we submit RFI or Quote for NAICS not listed in our Entity?
I recommend that you go back into SAM and add that NAICS code to your registration.
I really need your help
Hi! Do you need any money up front or will the agency provide what's needed once the contract is won?
Yes, you need money up front. For example, say you are awarded a services contract that requires 10 employees. You'll have to pay those employees before you receive payment from the government for your first invoice.
